The Divine Throne Of Infinity

"Heh——"

The bespectacled man opened his mouth and, with a grin towards Yi Lin in the darkness, white mist seemed to stream through his ghostly white teeth, like icy vapor!

He turned out to be an[Undead]!

Yi Lin cursed inwardly, having sensed something was off from the very beginning!

But he could never have imagined that such a being would appear in the trial for prospective Angel Envoys, a trial filled solely with newcomers!

Since he had only been through the trial for prospective envoys once and the rest were all trials for Official Apostles, Yi Lin couldn't draw on past experience for this "newbie level."

If he hadn't been cautious, he would have been dead by now!

But…

Actually, Undead doesn't mean what it seems on the surface.

Many suspect that the Undead were once Angel Envoys—

—Angel Envoys who fell during missions in the Inside World.

Life obliterated.

Souls unable to rest.

Unable to be freed.

Imprisoned within the Tower.

In certain missions, when the difficulty rises, the Undead might emerge.

In these missions, the[Undead]who were once envoys by any possible means, would kill Angel Envoys to obstruct them from completing their tasks.

The very existence of the Undead remains an unsolved mystery even among the future Apostle Circle.

Some speculate whether the Undead also have a "main quest" to complete, which, if finished, would allow them to be resurrected and return to the real world.

However, once you encounter an Undead in a mission, you must not hesitate to strike them down—this is an unstated rule among Angel Envoys.

The Undead may be troublesome.

But in the Inside World, they are just like the Angel Envoys.

They feel pain, they bleed, and they can die.

"Kill!"

The man with glasses launched a punch straight at Yi Lin's chest.

Yi Lin, however, didn't dodge. Instead, he stabbed towards the bespectacled man's eye.

The knife penetrated the glasses, burying itself into the eyeball. Yi Lin twisted it violently, mashing the bespectacled man's eyeball and deeper brain tissues into a mess with his fruit knife!

At the same time, that fist smashed into Yi Lin's chest.

"Puh!"

Yi Lin spat out a mouthful of blood, the sound of his ribs fracturing crisply at his chest.

It felt as if the broken rib had pierced his lung, a burning pain assaulting him.

Even breathing tainted the air with the taste of blood!

The bespectacled man, however, collapsed slowly to the ground. His remaining eye, green in the darkness and filled with resentment, dimmed slowly and merged into the airplane, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

The Undead, too, have Life Value.

Two vital strikes were enough to end his life.

Yi Lin gasped for air. The brief clash seemed terrifying, but it was over in an instant.

"How did you… discover me…"

Yi Lin clutched his chest, wiping the blood from his mouth.

"No time for you."

He couldn't be bothered to explain to the bespectacled man.

And there was no time for explanations!

Time was running short!

Only an idiot would stay here playing guessing games with the bespectacled man.

"I'll be waiting… 'inside' for you… hehehe…"

In the darkness, the bespectacled man's sole green eye gradually dimmed, seeming to blend into the aircraft, and before long, it had disappeared without a trace.

...

[For slaying an E-rank Undead, you have gained 800 Chaos Points!]

...

Right after the bespectacled man disappeared, a message that Yi Lin had never seen before suddenly appeared in front of him.

He had personally slain an Undead in future missions.

But…

He had never heard of any "Chaos Points!"

What were they?

Before Yi Lin could ponder the origin of these Chaos Points, a petite figure dashed swiftly out of the cockpit and flashed by him in the dark.

"Damn it!"

A sinking feeling hit Yi Lin, realizing that something was very wrong.

Enduring the severe pain in his chest, he chased after her through the corridor.

In the darkness, the petite figure efficiently strapped on a parachute pack she must have found somewhere. She turned back, flashed Yi Lin a radiant smile,

"Thanks a lot~ Bye~"

No sooner had she finished speaking than she leapt from the emergency escape hatch.

It was the professional-looking woman!

She had actually taken advantage of the moment Yi Lin was grappling with the bespectacled man, when he was pinned in the pantry fighting the Undead and couldn't pay attention elsewhere, to sneak into the cockpit and retrieve what seemed to be the real key prop in this trial task, the only one that could truly save lives…

A brand new parachute pack!

If one lacked a certain spatial imagination, it would be difficult to grasp Yi Lin's predicament at that time. In a dimly lit environment, with the corridor and the pantry in a "middle" formation, while Yi Lin was fighting the Undead in the alcove of the "middle" formation, she seized the opportunity to sneak down quietly and dash past, demonstrating impressive mental fortitude.

[Brand New Parachute Pack]

[Rarity]None

[Description]The exclusive parachute pack for the captain of flight 444, guaranteed quality, 100% safety in parachute deployment. The life and safety of a captain are always to be seriously insured, right?

...

At that moment.

The delicate and petite AI flight attendant robot shrieked madly over the intercom, "Flight 444 is 2 minutes away from a successful landing! 2 minutes! Die die die die! Heeheeheehee——"

"!!"

Yi Lin's face was expressionless.

Through the shattered window at the front of the plane, he could already see the dark night sky, and the sea's surface rapidly approaching...

The final 2 minutes!

The only parachute in the entire cabin had also been taken by the woman dressed in professional attire!

Throughout the entire trial, Yi Lin had never ceased to think.

Not even for a second.

But he had miscalculated two things.

First, it took two strikes to kill the undead.

Second, that woman in professional attire was so deceptive; Yi Lin had originally thought she was of the Mental Attribute, but it turned out she was actually of the Agility side.

With the movement speed she just displayed, Yi Lin estimated that her Agility Attributes must be at least 4.0.

Two seemingly insignificant oversights had led Yi Lin into this predicament.

"Indeed, those who can be 'Summoned' are all elite figures among humans..."

"One must not underestimate any person..."

"Having made only five assumptions at the start of this mission was too few..."

"At least 15 or more to be secure... heh."

Yi Lin closed his eyes.

He hadn't given up.

He couldn't give up.

His rebirth was not to fall here.

He had a reason he absolutely couldn't die for.

The future... should not be one of such despairing apocalypse.

In an instant, the brief ten-minute experience on Flight 444 flashed through Yi Lin's mind.

His Mental Attribute was as high as 5.1, with a memory and calculation ability far surpassing that of ordinary people.

Combined with his experience of struggling to survive in the future...

Suddenly.

Yi Lin opened his eyes.

He suddenly remembered that during this trial, underneath the seats of all the prospective Angel Envoy passengers, two random props would be allocated.

An old parachute, expired coconut juice, fruit knife, helmet, life jacket...

And...

There were no useless props.

"That prop... was actually meant for a situation like this."

If it exists, it's logical!

Yi Lin quickly glanced at his remaining Life Value.

45%.

The punch from the man with glasses had nearly killed Yi Lin.

A Strength Attribute of only 1.8 was indeed a bit too fragile.

Yi Lin took a deep breath, and the feeling of oxygen deprivation made him dizzy and light-headed.

But the sharp pain in his chest kept him barely conscious.

Not enough to pass out.

He hurried to the seat of an unconscious passenger and took out the prop he hadn't retrieved earlier.

...

[Wing Suit]

[Rarity]None

[Description]Since no parachute pack could be found, this was used as a filler. Even if it can't ensure a safe landing, it allows the wearer to fly freely in the air.

...

Was this suit a backup escape plan? But if one were to rely solely on this flight suit… the chances of survival were so low they were almost not worth mentioning, unless one were The God of Luck reincarnated.

Yi Lin had no other choice; he took 13 seconds to quickly put on the Wing Suit.

At this moment, Yi Lin was grateful for the uninterrupted training over three years, which had improved his Agility to 3.0.

There was approximately 1 minute and 30 seconds left.

The plane, tilting at a 60-degree angle, plummeted towards the sea at a terrifying speed!

Gurgle gurgle——

A rusty tin can rolled towards Yi Lin.

Another 5 seconds passed.

Yi Lin grabbed the can of expired coconut juice into his hands.

Thankful for this cute little stroke of luck.

It saved him about 5 seconds.

...

[Coconut Juice with an Illegible Date]

[Rarity]None

[Description]Coconut juice of unknown production date, may cause diarrhea if consumed. But it should replenish some strength.

...

"Glug glug glug——"

Without any hesitation, Yi Lin pulled the tab, tipped his head back, and drained it.

As for the taste...

It didn't matter.
